You will be provided a manual and learner guide which is yours to keep

All training equipment(boards, rescue tubes, manikins etc) will be provided by the club.

Each course will be run by club trainers and helpers who will deliver the training and be your point of contact during the course.

You will need to bring the manuals with you to each session and for the water sessions bring all you need for going into the water – swimmers, goggles, towel, warm clothes, you can wear a wetsuit if you want (although cannot wear wetsuit for the run swim run in the real assessment).

For the theory sessions, wear casual clothes.

Priorities for pre Xmas SRC courses

Priority is given in the following order for pre Xmas SRC

Existing competitors, Long term nippers, current nippers, new members

Competitors need this award to compete post Xmas

Training Locations

The course will be run in the NBSLSC

The weekend beach sessions will be at North Bondi – post Nipper time

IMPORTANTParents/Guardians – Please ensure arrangements to pick your children are in place

Assessments

The assessment is split into two

Part A – weeknight (assessing theory- classroom)

You will have practice assessments within the club and then the real assessment with Waverly District Assessors once the squad is ready.

Assessments will start around week 6 depending on the Waverly District Assessment Calendar.

What Happens After you have finished the SRC?

Following completion of SRC, you will be allocated to a Patrol and you start patrolling the beach for Nth Bondi

You will be expected to meet your Patrol obligations ~25hrs per full season.
